Aritz Aduriz (Valencia)

Aritz Aduriz has enjoyed a positive start to his Valencia career, scoring eight La Liga goals and receiving a first international call-up for Spain's EURO 2012 qualifiers in October as a result. He has not yet hit prolific heights, though, partly because he has to share playing time with Roberto Soldado as Unai Emery doesn't always opt to play them together. They are expected to both line up at the Sardinero on Monday, however, where their objective is to unravel a stubborn Racing defence which, before the Barcelona defeat last weekend, had conceded just three goals in the last five games.
